The Good, Bad and Ugly Pre WWE Super Showdown 2018

Published

on

Triple H WWE Super Showdown

Following Hell In a Cell we have already come to yet another pay per view, WWE Super Showdown! The card looks good on paper, but let’s break this down a bit further.  

THE GOOD

#1 Contender Match – Daniel Bryan vs. The Miz 

Finally, a reason to be excited about something.  This has been a great feud, with the exception of the horrendous Mix-Tag Match debacle, these guys can go!  It also means that new feuds with Daniel Bryan a top babyface and The Miz maybe the Top Heel in the WWE, will make the whole show better.  I see Daniel Bryan winning this match, and the contest possibly stealing the show.

SmackDown Women’s Championship – Becky Lynch (c) vs. Charlotte Flair

I love Becky Lynch and Charlotte Flair is gold.  The promos have been good, the matches have been good, and the experience has been amazing.   This match will be physical, has meaning, and will blow us away.  I see the Lass Kicker Becky Lynch retaining, and no one leaving disappointed.

 Cruiserweight Championship – Cedric Alexander (c) vs. Buddy Murphy

I believe the styles between these two will make for a great match.  I always feel like the Cruiserweight Matches are afterthoughts in most cases, but seeing that Buddy Murphy will be home and take the Championship from a hard fought match with Cedric Alexander, some good will have to come of this.  Buddy Murphy will get leave champion in this high octane fight.

 SmackDown Tag Team Championship – New Day (c) vs. The Bar 

This match will surprise us all.  I am expecting a lot of high-spots, feats of strength, and pure entertainment.  The New Day always brings smiles to the crowd, and everyone in this Tag Team Championship Match are near the top of their game and can work better than the rest of the pack.  I expect to be on the edge of my seat, and new Tag Team Champions, The Bar!  Cheers!

Triple H vs. The Undertaker

The King vs The Dark Lord, The Undertaker is just one of those people that have a presence you cannot get enough of.  Even the most cynical fan can recall child hood memories of the lights going out and The Undertaker raising the hairs on the back of your neck.  He’s still got it!  HHH is and forever will be a Professional Master in that ring.  Very few in history have a story even close to a man like HHH.  DX, McMahon, so many historic moments.  We have two titans of Pro Wrestling Royalty about to have it out on an historic night.  Sprinkle some Shawn Michael’s and Kane to the mix and you will have fire.  This will be fantastic, and we will all watch it!  The Undertaker wins due to a Superkick accidentally to HHH from his DX brother Shawn Michaels.

The Shield vs. Braun Strowman, Dolph Ziggler & Drew McIntyre

The Shield is so over, I say it again and again.  I like the stable with Braun, Dolph and Drew, it is a powerful group with unbelievable abilities and admirable foes of The Hounds of Justice-The Shield.  We will see a little bit of everything, brute strength, technical prowess, and there will be blood.  This match has to be good, because WWE has invested so much into it, it can’t fail.   The Shield loses due to a miscommunication.  Braun Strowman, Dolph Ziggler, and Drew McIntyre after winning hopefully move on to getting some Gold.

THE BAD

WWE Championship – AJ Styles (c) vs. Samoa Joe (No DQ or Countout)

I can just pray to the Wrestling God’s this ends the rivalry.  Enough is enough and it’s time for a change.  How many times are they going to have this match?  So much talent is overlooked every show, and we will see this match with two top guys that could easily work with some unsung hero’s riding the bench every week.  End this series PLEASE!  AJ Styles Retains and new more exciting things will come of this!

Asuka & Naomi vs. The IIconics

This is another hard one, The IIconics are no doubt pleasant, and I love the chemistry between Asuka and Naomi, as the pair works well together.  We will have some good moments but I feel there will be a sense of “who cares”, and some botched spots that take the good out of it.  The IIconics win because Good is dumb.

THE UGLY

John Cena & Bobby Lashley vs. Kevin Owens & Elias

I’m personally a “Let’s Go Cena” guy, and with no shame, chant “You can’t see me!” when it’s that time.  I would also like to point out, all four competitors are great talents and completely over with the fans.  Having said that, WWE, WHY?  What is this match about?  Waste of time and could have been a spot for other deserving talent who are not on the show.  I don’t understand the point of the match, however I would be shocked if Cena and Lashley lose.  I hope it’s good, but it’s looking ugly.  The only way it could work for “this guy” is if an Elias vs Cena series starts because of it.  The promos alone are worth the air time.

 Ronda Rousey & The Bella Twins vs. The Riott Squad

This was a hard one for me to list in the Bad Section.  Ronda Rousey and Ruby Riott had a tremendous match this past week and the talent is there.  Not to mention any Liv Morgan is good Liv Morgan.  I am a Brie Bella hater, and these past few incidents with her being reckless have made me just saying “NO! NO! NO!  I especially find it annoying that The Bella’s are teaming with Ronda Rousey, it just doesn’t make sense.  I have no doubt we will see a predictable victory Ronda Rousey and The Bella Twins.  I just hope that doesn’t mean we will see less of the extremely talented and entertaining Riott Squad.

Well we shall see, can some of constant doubt of discouraged wrestling fans finally Rest In Peace?   Or will this just be another Cheesy gimmick leaving us dumbfounded?  We will find out in a few hours!

Chris King: Is Brock Lesnar Truly Retired?

Brock Lesnar retired at WWE WrestleMania 42, right? Are we totally sure? Chris King asks…

Brock Lesnar WWE WrestleMania 42 Retirement

Brock Lesnar retired at WWE WrestleMania 42, right? Are we totally sure? Chris King asks…

At WrestleMania 42, ‘The Beast Incarnate’ Brock Lesnar took off his boots and gloves following his loss to Oba Femi. Lesnar has done it all inside of his twenty-four-year career in professional wrestling. He’s a ten-time WWE Champion and former UFC Heavyweight Champion, and he’s one who ended The Undertaker’s undefeated streak at WrestleMania. 

While Lesnar was in the ring, he was visibly overwhelmed with emotion and crying while he thanked the fans in his own way. The Beast even threw up an x to signal to Paul Heyman, his longtime friend and advocate, that this was not scripted and was real. There had been rumors that Lesnar and Oba were supposed to have a series of matches before everything went down at Mania. 

‘The Career Killer’ Gunther was doing Heyman’s bidding as he faced Seth Rollins for a favor. For a while now since Gunther retired Goldberg, John Cena, and AJ Styles, the rumor has been Gunther was set to retire Lesnar in his hometown at this year’s SummerSlam event. There’s been no confirmation if Lesnar is truly retired, but on this week’s episode of Friday Night SmackDown, we saw Heyman talking with General Manager Nick Aldis. Later that night following Rhodes’ match against the debuting Ricky Saints, Gunther choked out the WWE Champion. Could this be the favor from Heyman? 

I know in the world of professional wrestling we live by the mantra of “never say never,” but what if Lesnar is actually retired and this was WWE’s way of shutting down those rumors about Gunther and Lesnar? What if Gunther’s next program is chasing after the WWE title, and where is Randy Orton at in all of these plans? There are so many questions that need to be answered, hopefully soon!

Chris King: Defend The Intercontinental Championship At Backlash!

With WWE Backlash upon us, Chris King wants to see Penta defend the Intercontinental Championship in Tampa!

Penta WWE Intercontinental Championship WrestleMania 42

With WWE Backlash upon us, Chris King wants to see Penta defend the Intercontinental Championship in Tampa!

This year’s annual Backlash showcase is only a few days away, and while there are many big matches announced, one that definitely should be isn’t on the card. In my opinion, outside of Roman Reigns/Jacob Fatu and Seth Rollins/Bron Breakker, the Intercontinental Championship scene has been stellar over the last month. 

Penta has been an excellent champion, especially after his triumphant title defense in a ladder match against JeVon Evans, Rusev, Dragon Lee, and the Hall of Famer Rey Mysterio at WrestleMania 42. Their ladder match at Mania was one of the best that WWE has produced in a while. 

The momentum never stopped, as on the post-Mania episode of Monday Night Raw, ‘All Ego’ Ethan Page made his debut and was quickly inserted into the Intercontinental title scene. Page had a fantastic showing against his longtime NXT rival Evans and picked up a big win in his debut match thanks to an assist from Rusev. 

All Ego immediately joined forces with ‘The Bulgarian Brute’ Rusev, who was also vying for the Intercontinental Title in his own right. On this week’s episode of Raw, Page and Rusev defeated Evans and Penta. All Ego pinned the champion, making a huge statement and putting him one step closer to getting a title shot. For the past few weeks I’ve been anxiously waiting to see if WWE was going to add this incredible fatal four-way match for the Intercontinental Championship, but it hasn’t happened yet. 

As much as the WWE Universe enjoys witnessing great matches on free television, I truly believe all four superstars deserve the chance to showcase their talents on the PLE. While Penta has done a terrific job as the intercontinental champion, it’s time for a fresh face to hold the prestigious title. Page would make a great braggadocious heel that would help elevate the Intercontinental Championship to new heights!
